Title: Re: Entourage Identities
Hi Mike,
Finding Identities
I believe last time I told you to quit the daemon before starting entourage, but your situation here is a little different.
If you can't find the actual identity when you use 'switch identity', then the identity files are not int he right place.
'Switch Identity' will show all identities in /Users/[your user name]/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities. If the required identity is not showing up there, it is because the files have not been put in the right place.
Combining Identities
To combine the various identities into one, you will have to open each identity using the 'switch identity' command, then export the various items. Switch to the master identity and import them.
'Export' works fine for archiving stuff off as well.
Quote Marks
Why do you want to remove them? Leaving them in place makes it much easier to follow the logical flow of a thread.
Installing 2004
If you have the upgrade version of Office 2004 it will need to see the original version during the install. This is usually accomplished by putting the Office vX CD into thte drive when it asks for a location and pointing at that – ther eis no need to actually install office vX again.

Hi Beth
Thanks for answering, I have done all that and last time I now Barry said I had to do something with the daemon and I simply do not know what to do I feel such a fool. I now have so many entities and databases I know where nothing is and keep opening ancient lists of emails in my inbox. I dearly would love to know how I can consolidate them all and manage/archive them.
I wonder can you tell me how to avoid all those quote marks that appear when I hit the reply button, I have to remove them using the auto text cleanup remove quoting command but it does seem that there must be an easier way.
On another but related subject, I bought a new imac Intel yesterday (what a beauty) but when I tried to install Office 2004 the installation would not complete because the installer could not find a previous copy of Office. I have always paid for my software and I feel cheated that I cannot transfer what is essentially mine onto a new computer, any advice from any of your colleagues would be most helpful.
With my best regards
Mike
Hi Mike,
I’m sure Barry will get back here eventually and respond more thoroughly
than I but in the meantime, did you try going up to the Entourage menu and
clicking on Switch Identity? Providing that your old identity is in the
same location in the Microsoft User Data (MUD) folder as the new blank one,
that should allow you to access it.
HTH,
Beth

Hi Barry
You were so helpful last timje I had a problem I am writing again on exactly
the same problem, please don't think I am dumb I just cannot get to the
reply
you gave me before. I recently had to reinstall OS X and in the process
there
was the usual Entourage hiatus of having to find the previous identity. I am
sure I have done what you said before but when the programme looks for the
identity it cannot find it despite the fact I can see it in my microsoft
identities folder.
Also is there a way that I can consolidate all the various databases that
have
accumulated as a result of these activities over the last few months I would
really like to have all my emails in one place that is accessible and
readable.
Your help is much appreciated and incidentally I took the advice you gave to
another grateful user and sent a donation to the Philipines rescue fund.
Best
